Seattle-based Nordstrom is preparing to open its next two Canadian stores this fall, and the retailer has launched social media accounts for each location. As well, one of the two new stores has removed mall hoarding, revealing three separate store entrances and the facade to Nordstrom's popular coffee bar.

Hoarding at the mall entrance at the 220,000 square foot CF Toronto Eaton Centre Nordstrom was recently removed, revealing two store entrances as well as a facade for Nordstrom's coffee concept, Ebar. Although hoarding is up on the exterior of the building, some parts of the store's interior construction can be seen at night through some openings -- revealing an interior that looks very similar to Nordstrom's CallisonRTKL-designed Vancouver flagship which opened last September. Vancouver's Nordstrom store features bright interiors with wood ceiling treatments in some areas, exposed ceilings in selected departments, and smooth white ceilings in most main areas. Both the CF Toronto Eaton Centre and Vancouver CF Pacific Centre flagships are located in former Eaton's retail spaces (more recently occupied by large Sears stores), resulting in soaring ceiling heights, particularly on each store's ground level. Because of the configuration of Toronto Eaton Centre along sloping Yonge Street, Nordstrom's ground floor is technically on the mall's third, and top retail level.

The three level CF Toronto Eaton Centre Nordstrom flagship is scheduled to open on September 16 of this year, with a charity gala hosted by the retailer two days prior. Nordstrom's 196,000+ square foot Yorkdale Shopping Centre location will open on October 21, and progress continues on the three level retail space that will also see a charity gala hosted two days prior to opening.

For those interested, Nordstrom has also begun accepting employment applications for positions at both of its new Toronto stores. For more information and to apply, visit this link. The company is hiring for about 1,600 positions in both stores, and will begin interviewing qualified candidates at the end of June.
